When something hampers the way we look, it can cause a feeling of low self-esteem and hesitance. One of the things that can lead to such feelings is dark circles. They are dark bags on the lower eyelids and are a complicated multifactorial disease (00:57). This widespread phenomenon is often known as panda eyes or raccoon eyes.
It’s usually a point of concern for women aged 16-25, which is the time it happens the most (01:03).
There are several causes linked to dark circles (01:15):
Inherent pigmentation of the skin around the eyelids
Puffiness around the eyes
Structural deformity in a way that your eyes look like they have a tear turf depression under the eyelids, creating a shadow
Enhanced vascularity, which makes the blood vessels more visible than ever through your thin skin under the eyelids
-Lack of sleep
-Usage of glasses
-Unhealthy lifestyle
If you have any of these troubles, it can lead to the appearance of dark circles.
Most people think there are easy and quick fixes to cure this disease, but that's not true. You need to go to a physician. Individuals often reach out for over-the-counter medications or use home remedies like putting cucumber slices, coffee powder, or ice rollers. (02:09)
While these can offer temporary relief and lower the amount of puffiness, vascularity, and pigmentation under the eye, it's still essential to identify the root cause of this occurrence. You need a multifactorial approach for your undereye bags and the skin around the eyelids. (02:36)
So, get it assessed and analysed, understand the scientific root cause of it and then go for a specific treatment. Be mindful that this situation can only be reduced, not completely eradicated!

FAQs
